No matter how I talk about this, someone will be angry at me: from skeptics who say that even this carefully-worded video is dangerous; to radon therapy advocates who'll be frustrated that I seem to be dismissing patients' testimonials. So to be crystal clear about my point in this video: my message is "This is a thing. It is interesting. We should study it more. If it works, it could help an enormous number of people. If it doesn't, we should probably stop doing it."

You're 100% correct. It could effectively end their entire business. From their perspective, they are in the business of pain relief. The guy in the video that runs it even says they are nothing more and nothing less. If their patients are reporting they are experiencing relief whether it's placebo or not, the clinic has much more to potentially lose than what they could gain from doing the study. It just would be a terrible idea to do the study from a business stand point. Even if it's inconclusive or mixed on it's conclusions, even that could really hurt their bottom line.

I'll add that, the private company doesn't actually stand to make enormous profits. It's not like you can patent exposure to radon a naturally occurring gas, nor is having a fan and air duct system patentable. If they do pay for the study, there's no way to prevent competitors from taking the benefits but not the cost. They already have customers and approval from health insurance. I'm not sure how much more profit they can stand to gain, and the real risk of being edged out of your own market once you foot the bill.

It could be, it might not be. Radiation is used in other real medical practices, particularly in killing cancer. "Damage" therapy is used all over the medical world, usually as a way to cause the body to initiate repairs on itself. For example, there's dermal needling (causing damage to make skin repair itself), or applying certain strong acids to wounds to provoke an immune response (like treating the wound left by removing HPV/warts). Obviously, could be a placebo machine, but it's not totally outlandish, in my mind. Obviously, Tom Scott has pointed out a very good study to perform. Either outcome would be a net positive for the medical community, as both discovering what works and what doesn't work is always helpful.

I’d never heard of this, and having an unbiased view of different sides of an argument is still part of learning. This was a really cool video even if you couldn’t, or didn’t want to, form a definitive argument.

Another intriguing and thought provoking video. I really appreciate the time and consideration you put into your work. Thank you.

In Germany, my state founded Helath insurance is still funding Homeopathy, but not a ongoing physiotherapy for a back problem I was diagnosed at and have struggled with since birth. So, as Tom rightfully pointed out in this great video, what they pay for does not tell you anything about if it works. It's just ist not as expensive for them as something that actually works.

That you've conceived of a way to conduct a double blind test of this is the real headline here. As I was watching this video, I was thinking that there must be some element of relaxation therapy here. Sitting in those reclining chairs and quietly meditating in a cave would surely relax muscles and allow the participants to leave their stressful lives behind for a bit which is likely beneficial for pain relief. Even as a skeptic, I was enviously thinking how nice that would be to just sit there in contemplation. Your proposed trial would be able to keep all of those factors the same and change only the actual exposure to the gas. I'd be interested to see the results of such a trial. Whether you intended it or not, the challenge has been set.

You can always test it. Last time I checked you could buy uranium ore online. Or buy an X-ray tube and administer ionising ratiation that way. Provided that it's the radiation and not a specific property of radon itself. Noble gasses seem to have some interesting neurological effects, particularly Xenon which is an anaesthetic gas, like nitrous oxide but much more potent (and much, much more expensive), Helium causes narcosis (apparently) at high pressures and definitely causes high pressure nervous syndrome. Obviously to breathe helium at such high pressures you either need to be in a hyperbaric chamber breathing heliox or under a few hundred metrers of water. If Radon is bioaccumulative to an extent it might work similarly to xenon but over a longer time period and not many people are going to volunteer to breathe a mixture of 79% Rn and 21%O2 just to see if it causes analgesia. You could test it on rats however.

I have a hunch that sometimes pain is just a "bug". It's the body's way to indicate a problem, but sometimes there isn't actually a problem. In that case, placebo is probably the best treatment, because it's using a psychological trick to correct a psychological error. Maybe there's a faulty "sensor", and the best thing you can do is convince the brain to just ignore it, instead of messing with the body's chemical balance trying to fix a non-existent problem.

Most pharmaceutical companies don’t have to prove very hard that their pill is better than the placebo/control group as I remember the margins for passing to get approval are fairly small.

I agree, this seems like a great study. It would be interesting to see if results really proved it to be an effective treatment.

Using a double blind study you can objectively answer completely subjective questions. This can be done for one primary reason, subjective perspectives are subject only to what the tester and test subject can perceive. So if 100 people go in the tunnel, and get told they are getting treated, and the staff think they are getting treated, and only 20 of them say they got relief. Then on the next batch 35 of the subjects get relief, that's a data point. Now only the person who is told "Hey group 1 had 20 and group 2 had 35" is the one to know which was actually getting the treatment, hence 'double blind'. Both the testers and subject are blind to the test. As there is some randomness to how many people get the relief you need many data points to form a trend, but if you notice a real trend over time that actually using the gas is causing more people to get relief then you have, in-fact, objectively measured that real pain relief is occurring.
